What it requires
- If you are an evaluator under a school district's teacher evaluation plan, do not use an artificial intelligence tool to assign a numerical score or qualitative rating for any component of a teacher's evaluation or any evaluation task that requires professional judgment; you may use one to support administrative tasks.
- If you are a teacher, do not use an artificial intelligence tool to generate evidence of professional practice that an evaluator will use to evaluate your performance; you may use one to support administrative tasks.
- Disclose to the teacher being evaluated the name and specific purpose of any artificial intelligence tool an evaluator uses, and disclose to the evaluator the name and specific purpose of any artificial intelligence tool a teacher uses.

What this law does
Section 24A-5 of the School Code, as amended, bars an evaluator from using an artificial intelligence tool to assign a numerical score or qualitative rating for any component of a teacher's evaluation or any evaluation task that requires professional judgment. An evaluator may still use an artificial intelligence tool to support administrative tasks.
A teacher may not use an artificial intelligence tool to generate evidence of professional practice that an evaluator will use to evaluate the teacher's performance, though a teacher may use one to support administrative tasks. The joint committee under Section 24A-4(b-5) determines how artificial intelligence tools may be used within the Section's evaluation provisions.
Where an evaluator uses an artificial intelligence tool, its name and specific purpose must be disclosed to the teacher being evaluated, and where a teacher uses one, to the evaluator.
